INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS – Before beginning installation.
15
:
The cooker hood should not be exposed to a direct heat
source from the cooking device underneath it, i.e. naked
flame from a gas burner or heat from electric hob zones
without a pan on them.
:
We recommend that at least two people install this hood.
:
The lights on this appliance should only be used during
operation of the cooker hood. They should not be left on
permanently and used as a lighting source.
Before beginning installation:
• Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for the
chosen installation area. In addition check whether there is an
electrical socket available that will be accessible once the hood is
mounted. If the product is going to be used in extraction mode,
then there should also be space to connect a ducting hose to the
outside.
• Carry out all necessary masonry work prior to the fitting of the
cooker hood.
• Ensure that all electrical connections are carried out by a
suitably qualified person.
• Before commencing installation of the cooker hood the grease
filter should be removed.
PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU WILL HAVE
TO DECIDE BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR
COOKER HOOD WHETHER TO USE IT IN
EXTRACTION MODE OR
RECIRCULATION MODE. PLEASE TURN
TO PAGE 17 NOW TO UNDERSTAND
THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THESE
TWO MODES.

16
• Check inside the product and insure that there is no transit
packaging or any other materials, such as packets of screws,
guarantees etc. These should be removed and kept for future use.
• If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slot-in cookers
from their position, to provide easier access to the rear wall and
ceiling. If this is not possible, then a thick, protective covering
should be placed over the worktop, hob top or cooker. This will help
to protect these surfaces from damage and debris.
• Select a flat surface for assembling the cooker hood. Cover that
surface with a protective covering and place all cooker hood parts
and fittings on it.
• In addition check whether there is an electrical socket available,
which will be accessible after the hood is mounted. If you are going
to use the appliance in extractor mode, you should also ensure that
there is space to connect a fumes discharge device to the outside.
• Raw plugs are provided to secure the hood to most types of walls
and ceilings. However a qualified technician must verify the
suitability of the materials, in accordance with the type of wall and
ceiling. The wall and ceiling must be strong enough to take the
weight of the hood.
Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the
wall. This appliance is designed to be surface
mounted only.
Note: The hood may be installed with or without a chimney.

17
COOKER HOOD- extraction mode or recirculation
mode?
What is the difference between
extraction and recirculation
modes?
To get optimum performance from your cooker, the air will
be taken out of the room via external ducting.
Unfortunately if you live in a flat or the hood is too far from
an outside wall, this may not be possible. The only
alternative is to recirculate the air.
In recirculation mode stale air is taken via the grease filter,
and passed through a charcoal filter for purification. The air
then re-enters the kitchen via an opening in the hood.
What is a charcoal filter and do I
need one?
All cooker hoods have a grease filter but if you are using
your cooker hood in recirculation mode, then a charcoal filter
must be fitted in addition to the grease filter.

For installation without a chimney. (Figure 5)
• For ease of
mounting, trace a
central line on the wall
(1). Position the cut-
out template, so that
the middle line printed
on the top of it,
corresponds to the
central line that you
have marked
previously. The
bottom of the
template should
correspond to the
lower part of the
hood, once it is
mounted (2).
• Drill two holes Ø
8 mm and fasten the
support bracket „F“
with two wall inserts
and screws (3).
• Mount the hood
(5) onto support
bracket „F“. You can
then level the appliance using the adjusting brackets (6 and 7).
• Lift the cover screen and mark the lower fixing point on the wall
(10). Remove the hood and drill on this marking, one hole of Ø 8
mm (9). Then insert one wall plug, hang the hood again and fasten
it securely with one screw (11).
• Without a chimney the hood must
operate in recirculation mode, therefore you
should install the defector (Fig. 5a) and then
fit the carbon filter (see page 12 for details
on how to fit the carbon filter).

For installation with a chimney. (Figure 5)
• For ease of mounting, trace a central line on the wall (1). Position
the cut-out template, so that the middle line printed on the top of it,
corresponds to the central line that you have marked previously.
The bottom of the template should correspond to the lower part of
the hood, once it is mounted (2).
• Drill two holes Ø 8 mm and fasten the support bracket „F“ with
two wall inserts and screws (3).
• Mount the hood (5) onto support bracket „F“. You can then level
the appliance using the adjusting brackets (6 and 7).
• Lift the cover screen and mark the lower fixing point on the wall
(10). Remove the hood and drill on this marking, one hole of Ø 8
mm (9). Then insert one wall plug, hang the hood again and fasten
it securely with one screw (11).
CONNECTING THE CHIMNEY SECTION (FIGURE 6).
• Apply the support bracket „G“ to the
wall. Using the chimney support bracket as a
guide, you should mark two holes with a
pencil and then drill out these holes with an
8mm drill bit. Then insert two raw plugs. The
small indentation found in the middle of the
support bracket should coincide with the
centre line previously marked on the wall.
• Fasten the support bracket „G“ to the
wall with two 5 x 45mm screws (4).
• When fitting this appliance with a
chimney section, it is possible to use the
product in recirculation mode. However it is
obligatory to fit a carbon filter (see page 12
for details on how to fit the carbon filter). If
you are going to use the appliance
in extractor mode, please see page 20.
